SUMMARY:Valente Lecture: Jayson Beaster-Jones
DESCRIPTION:Valente Lecture: Jayson Beaster-Jones\, “Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Bollywood’s Rock Band Aesthetic” \nThe soundtrack to the film Dil Chahta Hai (2001) was arguably the first hit soundtrack in Bollywood created by a rock band. In this presentation\, Prof. Beaster-Jones illustrates how the collaborative approach for this Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy soundtrack generated momentum for a new kind of Indian film song. \nHe highlights the changing tastes of India’s urban youth audiences in the twenty-first century and shows how Dil Chahta Hai paved the way for the rock and EDM-oriented compositions of Hindi-language cinema that came to dominate the first decades of the 21st century. This influence\, he argues\, makes Dil Chahta Hai among the most influential soundtracks in Indian cinematic history. \nBeaster-Jones is a professor of music in the Global Arts Studies Program at UC Merced. He is author of three books\, a co-edited volume\, and numerous articles; his research focuses upon the popular music and media industries of India\, with a particular emphasis on the Hindi film industry and linguistic/semiotic approaches to musical/social analysis. He is currently co-editing the Routledge Handbook of Cinemas of South Asia (with Ajay Gehlawat) and the Oxford Handbook of Music Industry Studies (with Kaleb Goldschmitt). His recent research centers upon the relationships between music\, autobiographical memory\, and aging. \n

SUMMARY:Homayoun and Salar | The Art of the Afghan Rubab and Tabla
DESCRIPTION:Homayoun Sakhi\, rubab\nSalar Nader\, tabla \n\nAt the heart of this musical odyssey is the enchanting sound of Sakhi’s rubab\, Afghanistan’s revered 21-stringed lute\, renowned for its hauntingly soulful timbre. Nader adds the tabla’s rhythmic pulse and fuses Afghan and Indian percussion to draw out the musical parallels with Hindustani music. The duo explores the essence of Ragas and the profound connection between two diverse yet harmonious traditions. \n\nProgram\nTo be announced from the stage. \nFree \nThis Shinkoskey Noon Concert is made possible with support from the Joy S. Shinkoskey Series of Noon Concert Endowment and the Al McNeil Fund for Non-Western Music. \nAbout the Duo\nIn the wake of their families’ flight from Afghanistan following the Soviet-Afghan War of the 1980s\, these master musicians perfected their art in the traditional ustâd-shâgird apprenticeship as disciples of the Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Mohammed Omar. Nader has toured extensively with the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Stanley Clarke and appeared on Broadway in The Kite Runner. The duo performed on a Smithsonian Folkways recording series featuring the music of Afghanistan and Central Asia\, sponsored by Aga Khan Music. \nThe duo aims for their music to act as a powerful reminder of the resilience and importance of preserving cultural heritage. \n
